[QUOTE="jbear, post: 5490545, member: 75065"] I agree with not seeing the confusion any more: CBuilder is online. Bugs are being hammered out. Custimization options will be installed in the future at an unknown date. Monster Builder is going online. They would be wise to not rush its release til the bugs it is sure to have are ironed out. VTT is 2d, but it exists and on all accounts is already functional. It is similar looking to map tools but will integrate CBuilder and MBuilder. Soon access will be opened to all DDI subscribers once beta testing 'stage 1' is finalised. Customization and Importing will initially be zero. Books recently pulled (Class Compendium at least) will be released one part per month via Dragon Magazine. This seems to be a way to boost the quality of the highly criticised magazines. Dungeon and Dragon Magazines are no longer compiled, release schedules are not concrete but the editing process is far more rigorous, seemingly in an effort to raise the aforementioned quality of DDI magazines. Public response (on these boards) to recent articles seems to confirm a change in the quality of articles being released. Boxed sets and Board Game expansions, and Player card packs are the 'physical' products they intend to sell. Products perhaps less profitable (minis, several books and Ravenloft?) are a no go. WotC is taking on board the criticism they have been receiving. Communication from the company has increased notably and the article Aegeri links communicates that they want to take steps to dealing with the criticisms received. They offer their hand to anyone who has not only criticism but a constructive suggestion on how to improve. They go further asking for submissions along those lines. The essentials lines have been completed, products aimed at bringing new players into the game. Numerous anecdotal accounts of Parents using the Red Box to bring their kids into the game read here and on the WotC boards, seem to confirm that this has been at least partly successful. What else isn't clear? And I know all this without being a current subscriber. Whether you like it or not is a different story. Personally I'm waiting for things to come to fruition. When that happens I'll resubscribe. [/QUOTE]
